Average Gain per trade?

  1. When I was day trading actively my avg. P+L per trade was .18 in the QQQ`s and .26 in the SPY. With 53.7% of my trades going my way.

  2. Wish I could make $200+ daily collecting cans like I was scalping...I would do it in a NY minute...no stress, no computers just a good pair of rubber gloves and stick with a nail taped to the end

    4.7 cents net per trade scalping. (9.43 cents on winners less 4.74 on losers.)

  5. If you have an average dollar per share of .03 to .05 cents - you are doing well - and can make alot of money !!!

    0.03 to 0.05
    that is alot

    depends on yoru trading style i guess
    and you can make alot of $$$ just taking penny gains


    i just started trading about 6 month ago ... for the last 2 month i average about $700 a day ... i trade RBAK or SIRI.... 9000 shares... 1 penny makes me $90 plus credit which is $36

    so 1 round trip i can make $125.. and i average 150 trades a day ... so 0.03 per trade you can defintely make money if you are good enough
